July 12th, 11'.

For me today was another day of getting ready, going to, and coming back from school. It may have felt extremely long, but in the end of school on Tuesdays it is actually worth the while. The weather is starting the heat up big time here in Tottori! To be truthful I would rather have it to be raining right now than for me to be sweating through my clothes. Yesterday was also really hot and sticky too with the temp around 30ºC (not sure what 30ºC is in ºF, my apologies)! It is such a great thing that there are coolers or fans installed in practically about every building though. The day at school started out with English then History, Math, Music, Lunch, Cleaning Time, Free time, Wood-shop, and one other class that I was confused about. Grandma packed me some tea like she always does and so when I went to go and drink a cup of some in the morning I noticed it smelt different. The smell was very strong and reminded me exactly of this bug balm from Thailand that my mom bought called Tiger Balm. One day I had accidentally mistaken the Bug Balm for Lip Balm and applied it onto my mouth. My lips were flaming hot! The tea tasted the same but I just couldn't stand the smell any longer and so I had to let my tongue dry up. Ooh I forget to say why Tuesdays are worth the while of getting through school. Every Tuesday my cousin and I go to the movie store JAM. They have so many American movies, both new and old which is perfect and brilliant in just about a multiple of ways. I get to rent many movies and a few music albums If I want to. Since I am an 80s movie fanatic and eager to see the recent new movies released onto DVD, I get movies from within both those category/idea ranges. Then sometimes I get the music albums so that I can download the songs onto my iTunes! Tuesdays are also everything 50% off so I can lots of movies and it will save money! :] LOTS OF HAPPINESS AND LOVE, Emily
